Over 1200 kilometers, Father Rhine flows from its source in Switzerland to its mouth in the Netherlands through Europe, with 90 kilometers of this passing through Rheinhessen. It offers a unique landscape and scenery, stretching from the cathedral city of Worms, along picturesque villages on the Rhine terrace, through the state capital Mainz, and to Bingen, where the Nahe flows into the Rhine. The nature along the Rhine is diverse and invites outdoor activities and leisurely strolls. Cultural highlights are abundant along this majestic river.
Just a few minutes' walk from downtown Worms, the Rhine promenade invites you to take a stroll by the water. On its way to Mainz, the Rhine flanks the vine-covered hills of the Rhine terrace. Here, at the Roter Hang, you can enjoy magnificent views. In Mainz, the Rhine meets the city's vibrant lifestyle. It is a popular meeting place and a spot to relax.
In Mainz, the Rhine has reached kilometer 497. From Mainz to Bingen, a diverse landscape of Rhine meadows is revealed, with a varied flora and fauna. A themed path in Ingelheim invites you to explore the Rhine meadows - a unique ecosystem! They are havens for waterfowl; the wet meadows and the dry zone of the dike provide a home for numerous plant and insect species. In Bingen, a fabulous view opens up of the confluence of the Rhine and the Nahe, the gateway to the Middle Rhine Valley.
Discover the Rhine at its most beautiful. On an extensive hiking day or an eventful bike tour, you can explore the Rhine riverbank best. After an exciting day, opportunities for refreshment should not be missed, of course. Let the evening fade away with a glass of authentic Rheinhessen wine and a small delicacy right by the water, or take a short break and leave the everyday stress behind for a brief moment.
